Hi all,

Found some strange behaviour in the timetable editor for Exeter - not sure if this is this is generic or just applies to Exeter.

If I don't put any times in Wellington, Whiteball and Hele, it validates and passes the analyser.

If however I do put times in, then it validates, but the validator re-orders the list which the analyser doesn't like. In the second example if I delete Hele LC, it validates again, but moves Whiteball down the list to replace Hele.

I'm sure it has something to do with principle locations and its no real issue as the troublesome locations can be removed without detriment, but I've never come across this before.

Any ideas anyone.

It's related to them being non-key locations. I don't know why they behave like this, but you often get issues when combining non-key locations and timing points that are left at --:--. In your case, if you enter a time at Newton Abbot E703, (07:40 for sake of argument), you should find that the locations order themselves properly.

Thanks - as you say, if I enter a time in the Newton Abbot reversal then everything works.

I've learnt something new today!
